Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Palmar Beach Hostel accepts the listed credit cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival.

Please note that Palmar Beach Lodge is currently undergoing renovations in our restaurant area, scheduled to continue through December 20th, 2025. These upgrades are part of our commitment to enhancing your future experience, with modernized spaces and new amenities that reflect the unique charm of the Bocas del Toro archipelago.

Construction will take place Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and may occasionally result in noise-related disturbances. However, all guest services will remain fully operational, including alternative beachfront dining options to ensure your comfort.

We are doing everything we can to minimize any impact on your stay and maintain the high standards of service you expect. For guests planning to spend their days exploring nearby beaches, hiking trails, or enjoying local tours, the effect of the renovations will likely be minimal or unnoticeable.

We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you again soon — so you can enjoy the exciting results of these improvements!

Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
